Muslim Community in Farrukhabad Showcases Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb by Showering Flowers on Kanwariyas

Communal Harmony at Panchal Ghat

A unique example of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb was witnessed at Farrukhabad's Panchal Ghat during the holy month of Shravan. The All India Pasmanda Muslim Samaj, in collaboration with Bharatiya Kisan Union (Bhanu) and the Fatehgarh Festival Organizing Committee, showered flowers on the Kanwar Yatra.

Participants also distributed fruits, cold water, and refreshments to the pilgrims. This event concluded on Sunday, August 16, 2026. The chief guest, revered Maharaj Ishwar Das Ji of Durvasa Rishi Ashram, lauded the initiative, stating that human service is the greatest religion.

"The arrangement of water and refreshments by our Muslim brothers for the Kanwar pilgrims demonstrates that the Ganga-Jamuni culture is still alive and will always remain so in India," Maharaj Ishwar Das Ji remarked. He also recounted the ancient tale of Lord Shiva consuming poison after the Samudra Manthan and the Kanwariyas offering Ganga water to pacify it.

Symbol of Community Cohesion

Dr. Shakir Ali Mansoori, founder and national president of the All India Pasmanda Muslim Samaj, described the event as a symbol of unity and brotherhood. Rizwan Ahmed Taj, coordinator of the Fatehgarh Festival, and Jagpal Singh Rathore, district president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Bhanu), also highlighted the significance of this initiative.

They emphasized that such events promote harmony and mutual trust within society. The program saw the presence of hundreds of attendees, including Rammurti Rajput, district women president of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Bhanu), district vice-president Kumkum Rathore, Sunil Shukla, Bhura Yadav, Brahm Dutt Shakya, and Naseem Ahmed.

All attendees supported the initiative, calling it an exemplary step. This event was not only heartwarming for the Kanwariyas but also strengthened the centuries-old tradition of goodwill and tolerance among different communities.
